Sophomore Portfolio Review

The Sophomore Portfolio Review is held once a year in March and is a process of reviewing student work and identifying those that are the most ready to continue as ID majors. To qualify for this review a student must complete the courses listed below (see Curriculum).

A maximum of 12 students are accepted yearly into the junior program and we reserve the right to select less than 12. Typically, 18 to 28 students apply each year for the review.

Portfolio requirements for WWU 's ID program:

Cover page with name, home address, GPA, and photo on the lower right hand side.

A résumé with work history and past university or college experience and high school.

A portfolio consisting of no more than (7) pieces of the student's best work. Work should represent the student's capabilities and skills in industrial design as well as art, engineering, CAD, other computer skills, photography, and any other related field. Original work is preferred unless the project is too large to bring in; then photographs or graphic reproductions will suffice. Each student must show examples of the following:

Perspective booklet completed in ID 310

Drawing Portfolio from ID110 or equivalent course

Hand rendering/sketching examples that show creativity

At least one Sophomore ID project

Evidence of computer skills (preferably part of an original project)
